There are many different levels of Apple zealotry. There is the Apple zealot who merely defends his/her choice of computer and operating system with a vengeance. Then there is the Apple zealot who collects, in hopes some day to create some sort of museum for similarly-afflicted zealots, outdated and antiquated Apple hardware. Up one step from the collector is the Zealot that shaves Apple logos into his/her head, gets Apple-themed tattoos, and cover his/her Dodge Neon with a plethora of white Apple logo stickers. Then there are the scariest of all Apple zealots: the zealots that collect little Lego-themed bricks based on Apple stuff. The last is by far the scariest and can be combined with all or more of the previous symptoms.

Well today the most intense of the zealots are celebrating as TUAW has pointed out Pod Brix has come out with a new "play set" of their themed blocks. If the Woz set wasn't creepy enough for you, starting tomorrow you can purchase your very own utilitarian 1984-Apple-commercial themed play set.

Including an intricately detailed "runner" minifig, two riot police minifigs and an audience of twelve figures, this brick-based work is inspired by the classic TV commercial and features over eighty parts. A static LED backlit movie screen complete with a minifig style "Big Brother" completes the effect.

Now before you get too excited about this, you have to remember one thing:

Keep in mind that each figure is a unique mini work of art. This is not a toy and can certainly be damaged if not handled with care.

As much as you will want to act out the entirety of the commercial second by second, these are not toys. Handle them with care—the same care that you handle your Newton Message Pad 110 with.
